The conflict in the Middle East and the oppression the nation Israel are experiencing right now are part of the fulfillment of what God said in the Bible. In this verse (Joshua 1:5), the Lord knows that the nation Israel will surely be persecuted and oppress.
At the end of the day, God will always be there on the top of the circumstances. He is on the top of your career, on the top of your life, on the top of your success and will always be on the top of everything . He is even on the top of your circumstances and your enemy- the devil. I love the encouraging words of God to Joshua after the death of Moses.- "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." (Joshua 1: 9 KJV)
